Close API Ruby RestClient Example

close-api.rb

require 'rest_client'
require 'json'

API_KEY = 'your api key here'
api_base = 'https://' + API_KEY + ':@api.close.com/api/v1/'

# get info about yourself
RestClient.get api_base+'me/'

# post a lead
lead_data = {
  'name' => 'test lead',
  'contacts' => [{
      name: 'my person'
  }]
}
RestClient.post api_base+'lead/', JSON.generate(lead_data), :content_type => :json, :accept => :json

This uses https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client for simple REST calls
